Choose a location where the floor is even. It is important for

the ice maker to be level in order to work properly. If needed,

you can adjust the height of the ice maker by changing the

height of the leveling legs. See "Leveling."

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection:

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,

properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical

Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice

maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off

by a switch or pull chain.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the

power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality

may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the

condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.

Recommended grounding method

This appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped

with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. The

cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type

wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall

receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the

customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle

installed by a qualified electrician.

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If

you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IM PORTANT:

• Reverse osmosis water filtration systems can be used only

with ice maker installations that have a gravity drain. A

reverse osmosis system is not recommended for ice makers

that have a drain pump installed.

• The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse

osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice

maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and

827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of

water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If

a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house

capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the

steady water supply required by the ice maker, is recommended.

Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to

maintain the steady water supply required by the ice maker.

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work

properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you

may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also

use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for

undercounter installations.

Tools needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• 9" level

• Adjustable wrench

NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another

person to assist you.

1. Move the ice maker to its final location.

NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as

close as possible to the final location.

2. Place the level on top of the product to see if the ice maker is

level from front to back and side to side.

Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the

leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker.

Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as

follows:

• Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the

ice maker.

• Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice

maker.

NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add

stability when needed.

5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the

leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker.

6. Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the

legs.

7. Use the level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even

from front to back and side to side. If the ice maker is not

level, repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the

"Connect Water Supply" section.

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and

ordinances.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Tools needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• Flat-blade screwdriver

• 7/le"and V2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• _/4"nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/_e"(4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the Water Line

1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

2. Using a 1/2"copper supply line with a quarter-turn shutoff

valve or the equivalent, connect the ice maker as shown.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the ice maker a

minimum 1/2"size copper supply line is recommended.

A. Bulb

B. Nut

Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use 1/4"

(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.

• Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the

job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut

square.

Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet

Gravity Drain System

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all

state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is

provided with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines

when installing drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing

back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto

the floor causing water damage.

• Drain lines must have a minimum of 5/8"(15.88 mm) inside

diameter.

• Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per

122 cm) of run or 1/4"drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of

run and must not have low points where water can settle.

• The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate

drainage from all drains.

• The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 11/2"(3.81 cm) to

2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the

outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a

1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the

standpipe.

• It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to

the drain inlet.

Nou"ma Sounds

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to

you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be

concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard

surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds

seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the

kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be

making them.

• You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to

fill the water reservoir for each cycle.

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or

the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also

make noises.

• The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high

pitched sound.

Water running over the evaporator plate may make a

splashing sound.

Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir

may make a splashing sound.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to

the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the

condenser fan.

During the harvest cycle, you may hear a "thud" when the ice

sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.

When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water

running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a

rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.

ICE MAKER USE

ce Ma s

When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill and the

system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing

process takes about 5 minutes.

Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker will cycle at

preset temperatures. The ice level sensor located in the ice

storage bin will monitor the ice levels.

IMPORTANT:

• If the water supply to the ice maker is turned off, be sure to

set the ice maker control to OFR

• The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from the majority

of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are

unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated.

The Ice Making Process

1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing plate. As the

water freezes into ice, the minerals in the water are rejected.

This produces a sheet of ice with a low mineral content.

2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is

released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the

sheet into individual cubes.

The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after

each freezing cycle.

Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the ice

maker shuts off automatically and restarts when more ice is

needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will

occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.

NOTE: As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the

amount of ice produced and stored. This means that higher

operating temperatures result in reduced ice production.

1. To start ice production, press ON.

2. To stop ice maker operation, press and hold OFR

CallService Ice Maker Status

NOTES:

• Pressing the ON/OFF switch does not shut off power to

the ice maker.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard

the first batch produced.

Acceler Ice Mode

To start the Accler Ice production cycle, press the Acceler Ice

button while the ice maker is on. The ice maker will then produce

a greater amount of ice in a 24-hour period. This cycle should be

selected when you have an upcoming need for a larger amount of

ice and the ice bin is low or empty.

Cleaning Needed Status Light

The Cleaning Needed Status light will help you know when it is

time to clean your ice maker. The light will change from green to

yellow. This tells you it is almost time to clean your ice maker. It is

recommended that you clean the ice maker when the status light

changes to red OR ice production decreases significantly. To

clean your ice maker, see "Ice Maker System" in the "Cleaning"

section.

Service Light

The service light indicates when service is needed. If the service

light turns on, turn the ice maker off and back on. If the service

light turns on again, call for service.

ICE MAKER CARE

The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be

cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency

and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the

"Ice Maker System" and the "Condenser" sections.

Exterior Surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets with warm water

and mild soap or detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good

household appliance cleaner and wax will help maintain the

finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel surfaces as they

may scratch the finish.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or

soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use

abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on

stainless steel surfaces.

Ice Maker System

Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle

will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system.

Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale

buildup. How often you need to clean the system depends upon

how hard your water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal.

(4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as

every 6 months.

NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker

cleaner. To purchase cleaner please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME e.

1. Push the selector switch to OFE

2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage bin.

Remove all ice from the storage bin.

3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of the water pan

located inside the storage bin as shown. Allow the water to

drain completely.

4. Replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain

cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will

have either thin ice or no ice.

5. Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle

before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL)

bottle of approved ice maker cleaner.

6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the bottle

twice with tap water and pour it into the water pan.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

To shut down the ice maker:

1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.

2. Remove all ice from storage bin.

3. Shut off the water supply.

4. Remove the two screws in the lower access panel and the

two screws from the base grille area of the front panel

support. Pull forward to remove the lower access panel.

5. Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines to water valve. Allow

these lines to drain and then reconnect to the valve.

6. Replace lower access panel and screws.

8. If the room temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C), water

must be removed from the drain line.

For ice makers with a drain pump installed:

• Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

• Turn ice maker off and remove all remaining ice from ice

bin.

• Pour 1 qt (0.95 L) of water into the ice bin near the drain

and let the unit stand for approximately 5 minutes. This

will allow the water in the bin to drain into the drain pump

so that the pump will remove the remaining water from

the ice bin and the drain pump.

• Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.

9. Before using again, clean the ice maker and storage bin.

10. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

NOTE: All components of the ice maker are permanently

lubricated at the factory. They should not require any additional

oiling throughout the normal life of the machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your ice maker will not operate

Is there ice between the evaporator plate and the cutting

grid? Check that the ice maker is level. See "Leveling." If the

ice maker is level, and the problem persists, run a cleaning

cycle. See "Cleaning."

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Is the power cord plugged in? Plug intoa grounded 3 prong

outlet.

Is the control set to ON? Be sure that the control is set to

ON.

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker

tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the

problem continues, call an electrician.

Is the room temperature cooler than normal? Room

temperature must be above 55°F (13°C). Otherwise, bin

thermostat may sense cold room temperature and shut off

even though the bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not restart

once it does shut off.

• Does the green light come on when the Clean button is

pushed? The ice maker is receiving power but may need

cleaning. See "Cleaning."

• Does the ice maker have a drain pump? Ifthere was a large

amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes

for the drain pump to clear. If there is still water in the bin,

check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.

Ice maker seems noisy

• Is water being circulated through the ice maker? This is

normal operation. Water is added once per ice-making cycle.

• Is the water in the reservoir overflowing? This is normal.

This overflow helps to purge minerals that were removed from

the water during the ice making process.

• Is there a "whooshing" sound? Check the following things:

• Make sure that the water supply is hooked up and turned

on.

• Make sure that the drain cap is tight and the water drain

pan pump is securely attached to the water pan.

Ice maker runs but produces no ice

• Is the control set to ON? Be sure that the control isset to

ON.

• Is the water supply connected? Make sure the water supply

is properly connected and turned on.

• Is the drain cap securely in place? If the drain cap is loose,

water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either

thin ice or no ice. Tighten the drain cap.

• Is there debris in the drain tube? Clean the drain tube.

• Is there a kink in the drain line? Be sure that there are no

kinks in the line.

• Is the service light flashing on and off continually? Call for

service.

ice maker runs but produces very little ice

• Is the room temperature hotter than normal? Room

temperatures of more than 90°F (32°C) will normally reduce

ice production.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

• Is the condenser dirty? Dirt or lint may be blocking the

airflow through the condenser. See "Condenser" in the

"Cleaning" section.

• Is there scale buildup in the ice maker? If there is white

scale buildup inthe ice maker's water or freezing system, you

should clean the ice maker. See "Interior Components" in the

"Cleaning" section.

• Is the drain cap securely in place? If the drain cap is loose,

water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either

thin ice or no ice. Tighten the drain cap if it is loose.

Grid is not cutting ice sheets

• Is the cutter grid securely in place? Check the cutter grid

harness plug to make sure the connection is intact. See

"Interior Components" section of "Cleaning" for instructions

on cutter grid removal.

Off taste, odor or gray color in the ice

• Is there unusually high mineral content in the water

supply? The water may need to be filtered or treated.

• Is there mineral scale buildup? Clean your ice maker. See

"Ice Maker System" in the "Cleaning" section.

regularly it will melt and form clumps. Break the clumps with

the ice scoop provided.
